Emergency Communications  

 We are now monitoring Tropical Storm Gustav.  At this time, it poses no immediate threat to the University of Houston. 

The storm is currently predicted to regain hurricane status and could enter the Gulf of Mexico by Sunday.  An extended five-day forecast cone shows possible landfall as early as Monday afternoon somewhere between the Florida Panhandle and the Upper Gulf Coast of Texas, with the center line projection near New Orleans. However, the typical error of a five-day forecast is more than 300 miles.  

We urge everyone to make sure his or her emergency contact information has been updated and a cell phone number provided.  (See instructions below.) 

Posted 4 p.m. Wednesday, 8-27-2008.  This alert will be updated at 9 a.m. Thursday, 8-28-2008.
